‘Guarding endless loneliness’: China releases South China Sea love ballad | The World | ABC News
China’s state media has released an English love ballad about its lovesick sailors patrolling the contested waters of the South China Sea, almost exactly 10 years after an international tribunal ruled Beijing’s sweeping claims to the hotly contested waterway were not valid. The song, I Miss You On the South China Sea, is complete with a slick music video showcasing coast guard vessels and personnel. It’s in an effort to humanise the sailors on board the vast flotilla of Chinese Coast Guard vessels that try to enforce it. Foreign affairs reporter Stephen Dziedzic spoke to The World’s Girish Sawlani about Beijing’s new and unconventional soft power tool.
